Sanford was later asked if he was being vetted for the VP job. He said he has not been asked for his personal income tax records or other documents, which are standard when a campaign conducts a background check on potential vice presidential candidates.

Sorry, but whenever you see these folks on talks shows acting like surrogates for the campaign, you know they’re in contention. And now I can almost assure you that Sanford won’t be on the ticket comes this fall. That clip is just too painful.
